Hi, I'm Melissa!


I'm originally from Denver, Colorado. My family and I embarked on a new chapter moving to Portland, Oregon in 2021. I discovered my love of photography back in a dark room in high school with film. Despite pursuing a typical corporate career, my heart yearned for the joy and creativity that photography brought.


I specialize in capturing the intimate connections between couples, but I also thrive on the creativity of working with individuals. Whether it's a steamy boudoir session, a lively senior session, or bringing someone's unique vision to life, I'm passionate about crafting unforgettable photographic experiences that celebrate personal expression and storytelling. Every session is an opportunity to celebrate you.


Beyond photography, I embrace my nerdy side and a penchant for all things spooky. If you're looking for a photographer who shares your love for nature, animals, and a bit of darkness - I'm your girl.
